The Atlanta Falcons made a change at fullback Wednesday, Nov. 7, because they felt that FB Lousaka Polite was not a dominant blocker in front of RB Michael Turner. Polite dealt with a hamstring issue, but his blocking was not what the Falcons were hoping for when he returned. The Falcons now turn to FB Mike Cox in hopes that he can be a dominant lead blocker.

Atlanta Falcons running backs coach Gerald Brown said Monday, July 2, that the team is pleased with the competition at the fullback position between FB Mike Cox and FB Bradie Ewing. "Last year, being in the system helped (Cox) a lot. Ewing has done some really good things since he's been here. We are happy about the competition that we have at the position right now," Brown said.

Updating a previous item, the Kansas City Chiefs announced Friday, May 2, that they have agreed to terms with undrafted rookie free-agent FB Mike X. Cox (Georgia Tech) on a two-year contract. Financial terms of the deal were not disclosed.
